Press Info:
KÁRYYN announces her new 10-track album PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL), out 29 May via Mute. The news arrives alongside the release of the first single, ‘COLLAPSE PHASE’, out today with an official video directed by Jenna Marsh, and produced by Black Dog Films. KÁRYYN will also be embarking on a tour of the UK and Europe with Apparat.

PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is the latest from Syrian-Armenian-American singer and producer, KÁRYYN. The new album is a body of work distilled from years of lived exploration into existence, intimacy, and time, where sound becomes the structure through which truth is communicated. KÁRYYN’s voice is the gravitational centre, carrying both weight and fragility as it shapes the record’s sonic world.

Describing her new album “not as inquiry but as conclusion rendered in sound”, PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) maps collapse and reformation through the narrative themes and structural truths of compassion, clarity, and courage. Grounded in physics as the universal language shaping time and space, she asserts that this same language governs inner spiritual coherence, love, and connection. “PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) isabout the forces that hold us, rearrange us, and pull us back together,” she says. “It’s a framework for understanding my relationship with Self. This record is the sound of my human revolution.”
Pre-Order Here

The first single, COLLAPSE PHASE, opens the album’s universe with KÁRYYN at its centre, as the manipulator of forces. She opens with “You don’t believe me?” almost as a dare, to the listener and herself. Built on the tension between sustain and decay, the track moves like energy held far past its limit, no longer seeking release but asserting it. It captures the moment the final illusion collapses, revealing clarity rather than chaos. “COLLAPSE PHASE is the sonic threshold of confrontation and acceptance,” KÁRYYN explains. “It’s the sound of outdated systems breaking down—relational, emotional, foundational—no longer serving the universal truth that has arrived. It’s the moment I become the force itself, drawing everything obsolete to its end so something true can exist.”

Driven by gravitational rhythms, suspended vocal lines, and a sense of sovereign, deliberate rupture, the single introduces the album’s emotional stakes as a point of arrival, where agency is fully claimed and transformation is no longer a process, but a fact.

Directed by Jenna Marsh, whose work includes collaborations with Charli XCX and Eartheater, the music video is produced by Black Dog Films, part of Ridley Scott’s production company. It features legendary choreographer Supple Nam, whose career includes work for Guinness, Lucozade, and influential music and performance projects, in his first on-camera performance in 19 years alongside dancer Sattva Thanh-Tú Nguyễn. The result is a bold, immersive, and physically expressive performance.

Watch the video for ‘COLLAPSE PHASE’ below

PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) was produced by KÁRYYN and co-produced with James Ford and Hudson Mohawke, with additional production by Jacques Greene, Steve Nalepa, Luca Perry, and Duncan Fuller. String arrangement & performances by Raven Bush, alongside qanun performances by the internationally acclaimed Syrian qanun player, Maya Youssef. The album was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Joker. Built from voice, strings, modular synths and gravitational beats tuned to 432Hz, the record incorporates string arrangements informed by Armenian and Middle Eastern musical traditions, woven quietly into rhythm and melody as the record spans the intimate and the expansive. At its heart, PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is a declaration of courage, connection and renewal; the willingness to confront, collapse, feel and rise. “I went hunting for dark matter”, KÁRYYN says, “and instead I found brilliance, light, and potential.”

Press Info:
Moby will release a new album entitled “18” on 13th May. This is the much anticipated follow up to his multi-award winning and ten million selling album “Play”.

The album features eighteen brand new tracks and a brilliant line up of guest vocalists including, amongst others, Sinead O’Connor, Azure Ray, MC Lyte and Angie Stone. “18” expands upon, updates and surpasses “Play”, moving through anthemic nu-new wave, sample centred gospel and blues, electro, funk, warm orchestration and lush instrumentals.

Moby explains the title: ‘In addition to the record being called “18” because there are 18 songs on it, there are other more obscure reasons for it being called “18”…’

The album includes the forthcoming single ‘We Are All Made Of Stars’, which is released on 29th April. It is accompanied by a video directed by the award-winning Joseph Kahn. Filmed on location in Hollywood, Santa Monica and Sunset and Vine, the promo sees Moby assuming the guise of a somewhat distant and removed Spaceman who has come down to earth. He lands in LA and observes Hollywood Babylon at its most banal. Moby is joined by a number of familiar faces on his adventure. These include: Tommy Lee, Thora Birch, Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction/Red Hot Chili Peppers, Corey Feldman, Vern Troyer (aka – Mini Me), Angelyne, Ron Jeremy, Dominique Swain, and Kato Kaelin – plus Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges from 80’s TV show Diff’rent Strokes.

MobyRecorded and produced by Moby at his studio in New York over the last twelve months, Moby plays all the instruments on the album and sings on four of the tracks; ‘Extreme Ways’, ‘We Are All Made Of Stars’, ‘Sleep Alone’ and the semi spoken ‘Signs Of Love’. Elsewhere MC Lyte and Angie Stone both guest on the uptempo ‘Jam For The Ladies’. Sinead O’Connor delivers one of her most moving vocal performances on ‘Harbour’ while Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor of Athens, Georgia duo Azure Ray wrote the lyrics for and sing on ‘Great Escape’.

“18” features two stunning instrumentals, the title track is a version of a composition that Moby wrote and performed at the closing ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympics, while ‘Fireworks’ is a short interlude piece and takes its title from one of Moby’s favourite films by the director Takeshi Kitano.

Moby’s love of Soul and R’n’B from the 60s, 70s and 80s is again apparent and he makes brilliant use of a wide range of vocal samples on many of the tracks. Most notably ‘Another Woman’ which samples Barbara Lynn’s, classic, ‘I’m A Good Woman’ and on ‘Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)’ which features a sample of Sugarhill Records founder Sylvia Robinson’s ‘Sunday’.

Moby will play live dates throughout 2002 and 2003. Details of his worldwide tour will follow soon.

Press Info:
Ancient Methods returns with his first EP in three years. On “Society of the Spectacle”, we find seven pieces, some of them short, radio play–like sound sketches that draw on Guy Debord’s visionary book of the same name as the conceptual template for selected sonic interpretations.

While Ancient Methods’ previous releases already incorporated subtle commentaries on his immediate surroundings, “Society of the Spectacle” dissects microscopic fragments of the text, holding them up like a magnifying glass to illuminate the book’s prophecies as they have materialized in contemporary reality.

Musically, however, the EP feels liberated from any attachment to the spirit of the times—almost anachronistically Ancient Methods. Aside from the near-euphoric moments of “Burn The Frame” this may well be the most introverted work of his oeuvre: far removed from sensationalism, yet without paying homage to conservative minimalism.

The opening track, “Image Is My Commodity” carries the unmistakable metallic sonic armor, as trembling beats punch through the guts. The tracks rarely exceed the 125 BPM mark, allowing their full industrial force to unfold. Psychedelic elements—already increasingly audible on the previous EP “The Third Siren”—are further developed here, while on “Cache la misère” obscure, polyrhythmic metal spikes drill through loops with a folkloric undertone.

The EP’s surprising outlier is “Burn The Frame” featuring vocals by darkwave icon Night in Athens. The track pairs early ’90s techno references with catchy minimal synth elements—a combination previously characteristic of the side project The Loud Age.

Press Info:
Tearing of the Temple ╪ HYMNS REWORKS
A Remix Compilation Continuing Our Support for Palestine

One year ago, 61 artists came together for our charity compilation VA002, breaking the silence to support the Palestine Children’s Relief. Since then, the situation has not improved – it has worsened beyond comprehension.

Gaza has been under siege for over 17 years. But in recent months, the brutality has intensified to an unprecedented scale. The only thing allowed to enter Gaza are bombs. No food. No medicine. No aid. Just destruction.

In response, we return with “Tearing of the Temple ╪ HYMNS REWORKS”, a special remix compilation featuring selected tracks from VA002. Each remix stands in solidarity with one family in Gaza – one track, one act of support, one voice against the injustice.

In a world where every word carries weight and every silence has consequence, looking away is a privilege we cannot afford. When the cost of silence is complicity, we choose to speak – through sound, through action, through art.

As artists, we hold a responsibility that goes beyond creation. We are here to challenge the staus quo, to confront injustice, to amplify truth, to raise awareness and to ignite empathy where numbness threatens to take root.

This is not about politics – this is about humanity. This is a human crisis.

The atrocities unfolding in Palestine demand more than hashtags and headlines. They demand courage. They demand compassion. They demand unwavering solidarity.

Failing to speak out in the face of genocide is a failure of conscience. Silence is a privilege and Silence is deadly!

Through our music we resist.
Our genres -Techno, Noise, EBM, Punk, Experimental- were born from resistance. From the fringes. From the refusal to conform. We return to that core now- This compilation is not just music. It is defiance. It is mourning. It is protest.

These genres have always stood for freedom, for defiance, for the creation of alternate futures. In a time when culture is commodified and voices are censored, our sound is rebellion. Each beat is resistance. Each note is a cry for justice. Each track is a bridge to those whose voices are being drowned in war.

This compilation is more than music. It is a sonic protest, a declaration of solidarity, and a testament to resilience. We are not just artists. We are storytellers for the silenced, architects of hope in a collapsing world.

Let this remind us: True freedom cannot exist until all are free.

One for all, and all for one.
Free Palestine.

>>Profile<<..

<<“Nostalgia for the Future” is how Simon describes the sound of Komputer. It’s a breath of electronic fresh air in a musical world polluted by guitars.>>

<<Simon and David first met at a new music seminar in Prague about two and half years ago. The two of them share an avid interest in electronics and technology, hence the sound of Komputer. Simon has studied sound production at Morley College, which qualifies him as the technical assistant. David is a skilled musician, he has graduated in Harmony, counterpoint and performance, he is the voice of Komputer.>>

<<Jane is a new addition. Originally from Saddlesworth in Yorkshire, she moved to London several years ago to become the drummer of Andromeda Strain who were signed at the time to Trident Records (Home of Captain Sensible!!) Jane met Simon and David through a mutual friend, and became the third member of Komputer back in November 1996. She is currently studying a Masters in Musicology at the University Of London.>>

<<In addition to their music, Komputer are in the process of creating a “virtual City” of the future to accompany the debut album release.>>

<<Three people, three minds that exist in a parallel universe away from the sounds of the contemporary dance scene. Komputer are striving to become The World Of Tomorrow.>>

<<Released on Mute Records 1st June 1998 in the UK (already available on Mute in the US)>>
